~RM17k

then hope can still get SEDA 4k. wah..

edit also take cimb card 5 years instalment. so 17k divide 5 years divide 12 months.. so in this first 5 years. roughly just almost no difference with paying electric bill. plus get 4k from gomen. haha!
and after 5 years i suppose electric is free d lor!!!

11kwp solar panel capacity
Inverter 12kw hybrid, got monitoring apps
LifePO4 battery 15kwh
DC earthing
Manual change over single phase
Testing & Commissioning

Total RM56,000

Got a quotation from a company in kuching. Monthly sesco bill myr 500 and on single phase.

By investing in this system, you will acquire savings on 99% of your monthly electricity bills. It's a tad too expensive compare to what u guys are paying

Drop the battery, I think it will reduce the price by quite alot, do not need battery currently, further down the road when battery becomes cheap then only consider.

By the way, sesco bill RM500 is about how many kwh?
*
1586 kwh.

without NEM, i don't think he can drop the battery

Sarawak energy has NEM in place so that's the sole reason I wish to set up a solar panel but as you have said our kadar is very cheap so alot of people don't feel like setting it up here.

BTW based on my usage how much would I be charged under TNB in West malaysia?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been facing a puzzling issue with my electric bill and hope to get some insights here.

I have a home solar system (5.82 kWp with 12 panels) installed by Pathgreen, active since January 2024. Initially, it was fantastic—my bill dropped from RM222 in December 2023 to below RM10 per month from January to May 2024. However, starting June 2024, my bill suddenly shot up to almost RM200, and it’s been consistent ever since.

Here’s my situation:

Only my wife and I live in the house.
No new electrical appliances were purchased in 2024.
We use just one aircon at night, set to 25/26 degrees with the fan on.
The house came with a separate solar water heater.
I’ve already done the following:

Called TNB – They claim there’s nothing wrong on their end.
Called the solar provider (Pathgreen) – They also say the system is working fine.
Engaged an electrician – He couldn’t find any wiring or appliance faults in the house.
At this point, I’m stumped. Is anyone else experiencing something similar, or does anyone have ideas on what could be causing this? Could it be related to the solar system performance, TNB metering, or something else entirely?

Appreciate any advice or suggestions!

You should show us the app for the solar system. How much it generated and cross check that with your TNB bill lah

Today just have the roofing guy fixed the water leaking. Asked his view for solar panel and if it will cause roof leakage. He said each panel weighs 20kg, having 12-16 panels up there will strain the roof tiles in few years time. If the tiles underneath got leakage, then need to call in crane to lift the panel to fix the roof.

Anyone heard/encountered this before?

I still don't understand why can't we put solar panels ground level. I have enough space for it

Sarawak got NEM? I thought many people there just DIY.

SEB website memang ada NEM but nobody knows shit because our tariff rate is so dirt cheap nobody wants to install solar system
